Suggestion
With regard to running costs, I’d be inclined to suggest getting one from a main dealer with a comprehensive warranty, and then your running costs will be limited to tyres and servicing.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.
PistonHeads: 1 discussions
0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.
0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Just starting to look at replacing the hatchback for something that will make long distances with the family a bit more comfortable
We do around 10k miles a year but due to no commute that is all generally weekend trips and long distance European driving holidays.
We have 2 young ones still in high back boosters to fit in but no need to fit prams in the boot
Looking at second hand prices we can afford a 2017/2018 model but having never owned a Porsche and overhearing noise of expensive repairs and services, what should I really be expecting for servicing and general repairs?
I typically spend around £1500-£2500 a year at the moment to cover servicing, brakes, tyres and any other maintenance so should I be doubling that? More?

You’re presumably looking at the 2nd gen Panamera with the 4.0 V8 diesel, it’s a superb engine, as is the 8 speed PDK gearbox. It’s the engine I’d choose, it suits the car perfectly, but as they only made it for a year, there’s not that many available.
With regard to running costs, I’d be inclined to suggest getting one from a main dealer with a comprehensive warranty, and then your running costs will be limited to tyres and servicing. Yes you may pay more to buy it, but the peace of mind will be worth it. I would suggest your budget is sufficient bearing in mind your 10k a year mileage.
I hadnt actually considered the warranty aspect on used. I would plan on keeping it long term so getting something with Porsche warranty to start with would be a good place to start.
Ive just checked and can see the porsche warranty is 24 months and can then be extended at not a huge cost up to 15 years of age of vehicle so that gives a huge amount of reassurance.
